84 miles of ridi f, 2349 feet of climbing mostly in 3 places.it was 60 degrees when we left and in the low 90's on arrival.it was sunny all day thank God because we had a headwind all day at 13 mph. The Missouri is out of it's banks everywhere. Chamber
Chamberlain also has sand bagsrotecting the city. My heart goes out to these folks.
Today presented different challenges taha yesterday. Yesterday we were worried about hypothermia, today it was heatstroke. The dir point was in the high 60's and the humidity was near 100 percent.
Our route today took us a
Ong the Missouri River all morning, and for the most part we spent time crossing the Crow Creek reservation.
The terrain was pretty challenging all day. We had 3 climbs today of greater than 600 feet with2 of them being in the last 15 miles.the scenery was beautiful on the bluffs,but I would have been happy to seethe river up close with out the climbing.
We paasedww a major millstone today. We passed the official half way point for our ride. We ow have 3 1/2 weeks to go. Right now all we think about is where we'll get our next meal, how much climbing we'll have,and which way the wind will be blowing.
